What's it like cruising at 100? Bleeding ears? Fuel consumption?
100 is about flat out, but 90 is very comfortable. A conversation at normal level can be heard at both speeds. Hoping that the larger 22.5" rims bring it up a bit. If not a pair of Euro long legged diffs will be sourced. That said, I don't feel the need to want to do much more than 90...
Well, we made it home!! I'm knackered tho!! Muster up the energy to pull the tanks etc off the tray tomorrow. :)
Now I've had a decent sleep, its time to play. Two tanks, two boxes and a hose reel to remove. There'd be a tonne or so in all of that.. But first, there's a crane to master!! :twisted:
Watch out, you'll have some aggy with a sick ute wanting to buy your bullbar :D
Needs at least 5 antennae mounting tabs fitted and a steer skull before it'll fit the ute.Quote:

Nice Rig, think about putting a GPS tracker in it, there has be a lot of recent Crane truck / excavator thefts , just the job for nicking an ATM full of cash !!
Interesting you should say that.. Its an ex Telstra truck.. There's one already in it. Just gotta work out what's involved in getting it 'live' again. I know nothing about them.Quote:
